I saw he’d extended but not then canning it. I guess they’re hoping Sancho, Fernandes, Eriksson all chip in with plenty of goals. I don’t see it (not enough to put them in the top 4 which must be the target). Edited July 4, 2022 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_Villain Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Throughout the 90s and 00s… I hated Utd… They were just too good under Ferguson and always got the rub of the green… They are a spent force… and their fans are finally starting to eat humble pie now to their glory days are well in the past… Just a shame that those other pricks in Manchester have taken the reigns… Why always Manchester? Why in my lifetime have they always had to have SOME success at football?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't play number 10 given Fernandes is there and he'll probably have a better season next year without Ronaldo. Of course Eriksen can just slot in the 8 position given he played there for Spurs. Probably a signing they should've made a few years back when he wanted out of Spurs after they lost the CL final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent enough player, very good finisher, but the baggage he brings just isn’t worth it. He makes teams worse. And it’s masked by the fact he scores lots of goals. But he simultaneously brings team goals down. They’ve changed the entire way they play to accommodate him, including nullifying their best player, and they’ve got worse for it. They’ll all think it a tragedy they’ve lost him but it will be great for them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 United confirm Ronaldo is not going to travel with the squad to the far east for Ten Haag’s first game. An unspecified family matter apparently keeps him in Portugal. They desperately need a 20+ goal striker if he goes, and everyone knows it. They’re about to get ripped off, again.

VillaChris Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 What I don't get is why didn't Ronaldo say all this in May? From late March you could see Man. United had no chance of making CL. Feels a bit odd to be destabilizing them as soon as pre season starts unless he thinks Bayern Munich will go for him once they sell Lewandwoski which could happen of course.

The leaks to the press have come from his camp and that's only started in last week (and Jorge Mendes having dinner with the Chelsea owner). Just surprised he didn't say all this in May unless he wanted to see what transfer business they did. Compare to Mane who said right after CL he was leaving, Liverpool quickly got in Darwin Nunez and Mane left a few weeks ago. That's the way to do things.

Yeah, Man United still remain shit at most things. I assume MU have spent weeks trying to get a fee and nobody is biting. Now it’s become quite visible as Ronaldo is following through on his pledge not to play (I assume he doesn’t want to risk an injury which would effectively end his career). He could well be off to Munich which would need RL’s move to Barcelona to go through first. Or Ronaldo himself is holding out for big wages which nobody is offering. It might well be a deadline day deal. A big money transfer for a very old superstar is a risky and complicated deal to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
